-We can see more clearly now. Since the predicate $P$ isn't true for a unique
-value, $\textrm{THE}~y.\;P~y$ can denote any value of type $'a$, even
-$a_1$. Since $P~a_1$ is false, the entire formula is falsified.

-As an optimization, Nitpick's preprocessor introduced the special constant
-``\textit{The} fallback'' corresponding to $\textrm{THE}~y.\;P~y$ (i.e.,
-$\mathit{The}~(\lambda y.\;P~y)$) when there doesn't exist a unique $y$
-satisfying $P~y$. We disable this optimization by passing the
